Retighten wheel nuts after a short period of use and after every 50 hours of operation (see note 11.3) Check air pressure regularly (see note 5) Check tyres as well as wheels and brakes regularly for wear and tear.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Giga-Trailer Page 11 3.6 Maintenance – General 870 07 120 Any repair, maintenance, cleaning and conversion work and the clearing of malfunc- tions is only to be carried out with the drive system switched off, the hydraulic system depressurised, the electrical system de-energised and the tractor engine stopped! Remove the ignition key! Check regularly that nuts and bolts have not loosened and retighten if necessary.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 12 Giga-Trailer 4. Registration Number Plate (§ 18) Trailers over 25 km/h require their own registration number plate. 5. Obligatory Insurance (§ 29) Trailers over 25 km/h require a third-party insurance. 6. Driving Licence (§ 4 and 5 or driving permit – ordinance – FeV) Lof vehicles and vehicle combinations up to a maximum speed of 60 km/h may be driven with a class T driving license.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 14 Giga-Trailer 6. Hydraulic System Every hydraulic function is directly connected with and controlled from the tractor. The tractor requires a double- or single-acting control valve with free return (red = supply; blue = return) for the floor conveyor drive. A free return direct to the hydraulic oil tank is preferable as it involves less tailback pressure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Giga-Trailer Page 15 Electro-hydraulics (special feature) The hydraulic system can be driven as an open system with max. 80 l. /min. The tractor requires a double- and a single-acting control valve with free return (red=supply;blue( thick hose)=return for the hydraulic connection. A free return directly to the hydraulic oil tank is preferable as it involves less tailback pressure.
Giga-Trailer 7. Operation The Strautmann “Giga Trailer” chopper is equipped with an electric control box. In this electric control box, which is mounted in full view of the driver, you will find the switches and check lights (acc. to model) which the tractor driver has to operate and/or control.
